Explanation:When a person leases rental property from a landlord for use as a residence, the arrangement is called a residential lease. When a business leases rental property, the arrangement is called a commercial lease.

It seems that \'lease\' and \'rent\' are used interchangably, but I would assume there should be a difference between them
\"A lease, sometimes also referred to as a rental agreement, is an agreement between a landlord and a tenant which gives the tenant the right to use and occupy rental property for a period of time.\"

Ok. My decision is: "leasing vs tenancy", mentioning "rental contract" once in "leasing" definition. It just feels right, but I'm still open for advice in case I'm missing anything of import.
Thanks to Sofiya Skachko and Jack Doughty for their input and for indirectly confirming "tenancy agreement" to me.
Thanks to alex11 for explaining difference between rent and lease.
And thanks to Marych for useful link and for reminding me that dictionaries still exist.
Since it is a joint creation I'm at a loss how to close this question properly. Any ideas? Moderator?

Thanks to everyone. Now I'm really confused.
I'm sorry, Sofiya. I only understood from the link that commercial vs residential means corporate vs private.
Apparently, rent and lease are not equal for the lawyers:http://www.india4world.com/indian-law/Renting-Lease.shtml
Thanks, Marych. Just great!
Now,
1. It looks like the author of the Russian text did not know that the Law was changed.
2. Rent vs tenancy, which I was about to discard, becomes a valid choice due to (1).
Curiouser and curiouser.

Explanation:When a person leases rental property from a landlord for use as a residence, the arrangement is called a residential lease. When a business leases rental property, the arrangement is called a commercial lease.

It seems that \'lease\' and \'rent\' are used interchangably, but I would assume there should be a difference between them

Explanation:Agree with Sofiya. There is much overlap between all these terms.
Many definitions of "lessor" on the web include the word "landlord".
Many definitions of "lessee" include the word "tenant".
"Rental agreement": "similar to a lease except with rentals, maintenance is usually performed by the lessor and its cost is included in the agreement."
"Tenancy agreement": "The tenancy agreement gives certain rights, e.g. your right to occupy... and the landlord's right to receive rent".
I don't know of a specific difference in terms for an agreement to rent for personal use and one not restricted to personal use, but a rental (or tenancy) agreement can include a "no subletting" clause.

Explanation:Here is an explanation from legal prospective: Lease is an Agreement itself , much broader then Rent. Lease = Any agreement which gives the rise to relationship of Landlord and Tenant (real property) or Lessor and Lessee ( real or personal property).
Rent = Consideration paid for use or occupation of property . In a broader sense, it is a compensation or fee paid. , usually periodically, for the use of any rental property, land , buildings , equipment. If you translate a legal document , my oppinion , is you need to use Lease Agreement. Landlord, tenant respectivly and after Lease to clarify (Renatl Agreement) exactly like it is in RU ГК. I didn't know myself but discovered recently that our ГК was written under direct supervision of american scentist and lawyers. What a discovery. I thought we are smart enough , but open and free market relations was in need of expertise we didn't have at that time. Theerfore, I presume that " По договору аренды (имущественного найма) арендодатель (наймодатель) обязуется предоставить арендатору (нанимателю) " was exactly translated from english and should be translated back as follows" in accordance with Lease Agreement( rental Agreement) Landlord ( Lessor) is obligated {must/ have to/...} to grant/transfer to the Tenant (Lessee) the right to possess.... and blah blah blah. GENERAL COMMENT FROM PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. USE TENANT AND LANDLORD IN CONNECTION WITH TANGIBLE AND NOT MOVABLE EXEPT CARS PROPERTY LIKE HOUSE , LAND , APPARTMENT {CAR} AND LESSOR/LESSEE WHEN IT IS ABOUT GENERAL MERCHANDISE OR INTANGIBLE PROPERTY.....PROFESSIONAL LAWYER
